The gang's all back in a new set of character posters for The Full Monty as FX prepares to air the sequel series later this week. After bearing all in the original 1997 film, Robert Carlyle and the cast of the comedy classic are coming back for a new story all about the mischief they've gotten up to in the post-industrial town of Sheffield since that fateful performance.
The Full Monty saw Carlyle play Gary "Gaz" Schofield, a loving father who felt lost after the steel mills in Sheffield shut down, leaving him and many of his friends out of work. Desperate for money and hoping to keep joint custody of his son, he forms a male stripping group that promises to "go the full monty" for its audience, coming into his own with his fellow down-on-their-luck workers. Taking place 25 years later, the series sees Sheffield and the people in it changing.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Alongside Gaz is his friend Dave who's trudging through life with his wife Jean and dog Tellulah, but with no kids yet to call his own.
The Full Monty retains much of its creative team too with original screenwriter Simon Beaufoy returning alongside producers Uberto Pasolini and Lee Mason. Beaufoy will share writing duties this time around with Trust screenwriter Alice Nutter while Andrew Chaplin and Catherine Morshead direct the episodes.
The Full Monty kicks off on FX on June 14. Until then, check out all the returning cast members in the posters below.
